Since LS One 2020 was released in July, the LS One team has been developing extra functionality to enhance the system. They have put special focus on extending the capabilities for restaurants and food service businesses. Trident is LS Retail Central Platinum Partner, offering ERP for Retail & Hospitality. The Kitchen Display System (KDS) is a digital order viewer that replaces paper tickets and printers in a restaurant kitchen. A KDS has become an essential component in a modern kitchen, as it helps organize and streamline work: No more stained, hard-to-read paper tickets: all orders are displayed on screens, clear and tidy. No need for servers to waste time running from the front to the kitchen and back: all communication between kitchen and front (orders, items, their preparation status) goes through your POS system. Items and orders are automatically routed and displayed at the proper food preparation stations. Items are shown on the screens by production order, so kitchen staff can start and complete preparation timely. Kitchen staff can bump dishes to different stations, or mark orders and items as ready. The Kitchen Display System and the POS are connected via a two-way communication system. Front-of-house staff can see the status of orders at the POS, and make sure all dishes are delivered to the guests at the right time. You can add screens and set up specific automations to follow your kitchen’s flow. In the past, to connect a KDS to LS One you needed to do your own integration. From this version of LS One onwards, you can use your LS One POS system with the LS Retail Kitchen Display System. The systems are connected out of the box, no extra work needed. Picture this: Your server takes the order at the POS. When they send the order to the kitchen, the items are automatically routed to the KDS in the correct kitchen station (for example, the grill station versus the sauté or dessert station), and displayed in the right order of production. When a guest asks “When is my dish coming?” front-of-house staff can check at the POS the status of the order, and update the table. Easy, quick, and professional. Sell groups of items easily with assembly items It’s now easier than ever before to sell multiple items at once – for example, as a gift basket. In LS One you can now create “assembly items” by combining different items into one. The options are endless: Set up deals (or meal deals, if you run a restaurant or café) Create hampers and gift baskets Make bills of materials Set up recipes, managing the ingredients as separate items Assemble supply kits Do you run a chain, and want to differentiate your offering across locations? You can vary the list of component items between locations, and easily substitute products or ingredients as needed. For example, your holiday hamper can include Gouda cheese, instead of brie, in some of your store locations. You can set a special price for the final item, or add up the prices of the items that compose it – your choice. If you want, you can also display the list of components on the POS receipt, on the printed receipt, and on kitchen orders – or you can hide it. The integration to SAP Business One ERP just keeps on getting better Since we introduced the out-of-the-box integration between LS One and ERP SAP Business One, more and more businesses have moved from other POS solutions to LS One. Using their valuable feedback, we have been working on the integration to make it even more immediate and seamless. You can now add a U.S. tax setup when you create a customer on the POS The login service layer is more intuitive and quicker We have added tax synchronization for specific localizations You can now easily connect to different versions of SAP Business One HANA More enhancements to come as the LS One team keeps on ironing out the wrinkles. Endlessly enhancing LS One We are continuously working on improving LS One in terms of functionality, speed and simplicity. Some highlights from this release: You can now add the company’s country information Discount calculations are way faster than before We have redesigned the “send to station” and “menu type selection” dialogs (restaurant-specific functionality) The kitchen printing/send to station functionality is now fast and seamless (restaurant-specific). You can find more enhancements and fixes in the release notes. And as usual, more improvements are ahead as the team keeps on working to make LS One the best POS in the industry.

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The need for restaurant management technology has been recognized by large and expensive restaurants and their chains as most of them use it.On the other side, as of now, just 9 percent of the small restaurants, bars and food trucks use it. They don’t think investing in restaurant management software is worthwhile enough. Therefore they are using manual methods like spreadsheets and paper and not utilizing their time efficiently. So they should realize how important it is because it can help you save time, money and do more with your restaurant. There are a couple of reasons to consider here. 1- Simplify Inventory Management Inventory management is a tough task especially for most SMBs as they are doing it manually. By replacing their manual methods with automated Restaurant management system will help them to track the amount of stock they have, what is it costing them? , and when they need more stock automatically. Integration of POS system and restaurant management software helps in real-time inventory management as every time you input order on POS, the purchased inventory is deducted from the existing inventory. You can understand now why inventory management is so simple by using restaurant management software as if you do it manually then it will become a headache. 2- Reduce Human Error in Restaurant Supply Order It can possibly lead to human error to fill out paper order forms and fax them to your suppliers. For instance 9 items on the form can be misunderstood as 90 items and you’ll get 90 items instead of 9 that will result in loss. Restaurant management system streamlines the connection between the restaurant and the supplier. As it is a fully automated system, the chances of error are reduced and you can even track the status of your order. 3- Simplify Accounting If your restaurant has a box full of invoices and receipts, you’re going to admire how restaurant management system performs. Rather than having to cling on to every piece of paper you get, you just need to click a photo of the invoice and it’s automatically uploaded to your digital filing cabinet through the software. It is filed into your accounting system, where you can pay the invoice before it is due. 4- Gain an Insight into Food Cost Profit perimeters can be small when it comes to the restaurant industry, so you must know each ingredient’s cost, as well as the overall cost of a dish that you serve. A restaurant management system makes reports of the cost of the dishes which you can view at any time. If the cost of onion has risen, thus cutting into your profit margin, so you can decide: do you raise the price for that item or reduce the quantity of that particular ingredient? Staying on top of these expenses helps you keep costs down. 5- Simplify Monitoring If you carry multiple locations of your restaurant, using a restaurant management system will help you to access data for each location which is helpful and time saving as compared to separate system for each location. You can handle inventory across all locations and place orders with suppliers in bulk to get profit. You can also view menu items which are most successful at each location so that you can deliver what your customers want. A restaurant management system integrates inventory, sales, ordering, and accounting and makes it easier to do your job well. Every SMBs must realize that and should opt for it as it is worth every penny they’ll spend.
